You may want to look at GME, Geospatial Modeling Environment,
Hawthorne Bayer's successor to Hawth's Tools.  It allows you to run
your own arbitrary R code from within ArcMap, as well as providing
simple function wrappers for several common tasks.  One potential
issue is that it uses statconnDCOM, which is not licensed for all
uses.

I have ended up doing almost nothing in ArcMap: the tools in the sp,
rgdal, raster, and gbclib packages do everything I need, and  in most
cases are substantially faster than even python & ESRI geoprocessing
tools.  YMMV.

Hi Lalita,

This website was just forwarded to me from a former professor.  It
describes using Arcgis 10 & some R for geomorphology applications:

Good Luck!!

I don't think that Konstantin Krivoruchko's excellent DVD-book, for 
example at:

http://esripress.esri.com/display/index.cfm?fuseaction=display&websiteID=194

and elsewhere, has been mentioned so far. There is an R chapter and 
appendix.
